I am currently writing a children's science book about animals and I am looking for photographs of a variety of reptiles, amphibians and fish. Could you let me know if you have any slides that I might use. If you do please describe the procedure for obtaining publication rights. I would also appreciate any leads that you could give me to other sources of slides.

Here's a list of the kind of photos that I'm looking for:

A female anglerfish with a male attached
A young and a mature flounder showing their eyes
A siamese fighting fish building a bubble nest
A lizard that's lost its tail
A chameleon with its tongue way out
A snake swallowing another animal
A tortoise with froth
A frog swallowing with its eyes closed
A toad squirting blood

My deadline is early June. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your assistance.
